    Countries with mutual treaties are going to get attacked. China would definitely take Taiwan and maybe the Philippines.

    The next biggest economy would likely fill the power vacuum, which at the moment would be China.
    European countries would likely band together but still align their policies closer to Russian polices because they’re a more imminent threat than China.
    There would probably be several small brush wars as countries try to to consolidate power amongst regional areas like North America and the Middle East.
    Fragile ceasefires backed by American influence would pretty quickly dissolve like between North and South Korea.
    And in a few decades everything will settle into a new “normal” just like it did when other great empires have lost their influence.

    Multinational corporations and crime syndicates and others would be at each others throats, nobody would enforce trillions worth of contracts, USD would be meaningless, all govt services would attempt to go private. mass migration attempts.

      That’s already happening, specifically because the US exists. De-escalation is more likely, when the US is no longer funding and training terrorists.

    Don. I’ve put up with your shenanigans for months. Enough. Stop asking stupid vitriolic questions.
